Publication is just one week away! 🧚

This book sheds new light on anomalous experience in medieval life and the relations it forged between vernacular life-stories and the gate-keepers of the written word. Fairies could cure as well as harm, prophecy as well as deceive: that made them a disruptive force in history, theology and morals. They challenge our ideas of a church-dominated society and once they are admitted into the picture, the Middle Ages will never look the same.

This month marks 75 years since the publication of George Orwell's 1984. Published late last year, 1948 by Brian May is a critical and creative prequel to the classic.

Taking his Diaries of the time as inspiration, together with his famous final novel, and treating them as contiguous texts, May considers the gaps, equivocations, and contradictions in Orwell's message and asks what Orwell would have written next.

'George Orwell inside-out, stood on his head, through the looking glass: what an idea, and what a strange success Brian May’s book is! ' - Justin Smith-Ruiu, Université Paris Cité

18/05/2024

Between 1965 and 1975, Britain discreetly supported the Sultanate of Oman in achieving a historic Cold War-era counterinsurgency win in its remote Dhofar Province. To date, this role has traditionally been represented either in terms of a narrow operational success or has been reduced to one of failure-oriented peripheral player. This book re-examines the historical record to present a more balanced verdict of the war and the overall importance of the UK’s role.

💬 In the growing body of work that explores the cracks and fissures of the liberal international order – the global rise of the far-Right, explosions of organized violence, and a climate hurtling towards catastrophe – the role of recent transformations in digital technology remain strangely under-explored. Caesarism in the 21st Century steps into this aporia, offering a Gramscian account of the present that explains why the social forces struggling for a more progressive vision of the the future have been stymied by emergent trends in information technology, while the caesars of the world have been empowered. Theoretically astute, historically-grounded, and eloquently written, Fattor’s analysis offers insight for so many of us struggling to understand ‘why the old world is dying, [but] the new world struggles to be born.’
- John Hultgren, Professor of Environmental Politics, Bennington College

Published today! Caesarism in the 21st Century by Eric Fattor 📖

The troubles of the contemporary moment in history can be interpreted many ways. This book argues that the most insightful analysis comes from the application of a neo-Gramscian framework that sees recent events as “morbid symptoms” of an interregnum in world order between an older historic bloc of power losing its legitimacy and a new historic bloc in the process of being born.
